SAN FRANCISCO,
CA--(Marketwired - April 23, 2015) - Maker
Faire Bay Area 2015, the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth, will
bring together over 1,200 Makers to share their projects, passions
for making, and experiences playing an integral role in the Maker
Movement. Exhibiting at the 10th anniversary of Maker Faire Bay
Area will be Makers who have been involved from the beginning as
well as new Makers -- over 25% of all exhibitors -- who are joining
them as pacesetters of the Maker Movement. These new Makers have
been inspired by a decade of Makers who are leading the Maker
Movement and showing the world that we are all makers, changing the
way we learn, create, and see the future. The inspiration that
fuels the passion in these Makers in turn excites society as a
whole and positively impacts our changing world.

"When we launched Maker Faire in 2006, we wanted to bring the
community together to meet Makers, to share and celebrate their
projects, successes, and failures, and to show the world that
everyone is a Maker," said Sherry Huss, vice president of Maker
Media and co-founder of Maker Faire. "Maker Faire has expanded in
tandem with fast-growing movements such robotics, drones,
computing, the DIY boom, wearables, IoT, 3D printing, space
science, cars, sensors, mobile, and more. We've accomplished what
we set out to do, and are thrilled to see the Faire, and the Maker
Movement, grow and prosper around the world."

The event will continue to be curated in ways that give
attendees the opportunity to unearth new projects and offerings
from Makers, and better understand how the Maker Movement is
impacting their own lives. The range of Makers included in this
10th anniversary event has broadened to include more young Makers,
new groups of Makers, Makers representing more international
communities, and more. Attendees will take in the amazing
creations, products, inspiration, hobbies, innovations, and
inventions covering an assortment of hot topics such 3D printing,
kinetic sculptures, wearables, design, trends in food making, STEAM
exposure for school-age kids, sustainability, microcontrollers,
education, and much more.

Aquatrope[2]: A
self-powered and electric, pedal-assisted mobile art sculpture.
Created by Maker Richard Wilks, Aquatrope explores how profoundly
society is intertwined with a vital resource, water. It makes a
powerful statement with its beauty and holistic message about how
water is crucial to our human existence and to the health and
survival of the natural world.

The CoasterDad Project[3]: Local
Bay Area maker, Will Pemble, is bringing one of his world-famous,
custom backyard roller coasters to the Faire. He'll be sharing with
attendees his experience making the roller coaster and his love for
physics, fun, and making.

Conductak[4]: An
electrically conductive sticky tack that is used to prototype
circuits and mount components practically anywhere. At the Faire,
attendees can use Conductak to create their other simple projects
and test the usability of Conductak.

EarthMover[5]: Made
from excavators and excavator parts, EarthMover is a large
sculpture of an ant, paying homage to the power and determination
